i'd try the agonist and see how well it works. nothing to lose.
everyone is different.
i couldn't tolerate requip, tried to get used to mirapex for 1 year but it also made me too drowsy.

have not tried the agonist extended release versions and am using sinemet, just satisfied enough to not want to give the new agonists a try plus with no insurance, generic sinemet much cheaper. but 1 pill/day is appealing.

i went without meds for 6 years after diagnosis and tolerated a lower quality of life.

what about azilect? also clinical trial for agonist patch? any chance of trying one of those?


vigorous exercise imho is possibly neuroprotective, might slow progression.
